There is a ton of good freelancers right here on this site. I've dealt with many freelancers and most have their own rules. I always pay 50% up front and 50% when done, but I'm flexible. The bottom line is, your going to need to go fishing for freelancers. Before you know it you'll know someone for everything and you can go right to those people. But, first, you need to find them, it's always a personal experience in that arena. Just be honest and hold up your end of the deal and you'll run into some great people.

You should be able to determine which people will be good candidates if you correspond with them for a while. You should be able to find out that some things just don't "add up" with certain people, while other people will start to seem more credible.

Just like in any work-for-hire situation, be certain to check references and ask questions.
